I've never heard of a dog car seat. Is that a thing? Is it for safety, like a child car seat?
Yes. The thing you see is a car/booster seat for small dogs. You put it in the back seat preferably (not in the front for when the air bags go off, that can kill your dog). The dog is then fastened to the seat by its harness. It is cushioned all around, so if there is an accident, the dog does not fly off the seat and get killed. In case of accident the dog is restrained.
The added benefit, is the seats are high enough so the dog can look out the window, and there is a little storage box under, so I can put a spare leash, a bowl and such.
My previous chihuahua loved riding in the car so much with me, that I bough her a car seat to sleep on indoors. It had the added benefit of being a bit higher than a regular dog bed, so the chances she'd be underfoot were a lot less. She slept in her special seat until she died. She loved the car seat and going out in the car so much.
Many people travel with their dogs unrestrained or on their laps. IF the dog is in the front when an airbag goes off, especailly the wee little dogs, bad things happen. So we always train ours to sit in their seats when they go out in the vehicles. Its safer for them and us, because we aren't distracted by their movements.
That's very informative. It sounds like a great idea to keep your little Sparkle happy and safe.
So, loaded up Modern Washroom. Holy Canoli, look at the size of that toilet. Even Boyd who is close to 7 feet tall could bathe in the toilet! Boyd has no hair, because there is a window there, and his hair doesn't show up in windows.
Hm, even weirder, the set loads at 50 percent. Meaning, by default its even larger. That's pretty unusual.
In these parts, it's law that animals are fully restrained whilst travelling in a car. If you have an accident and the animal gets injured, if it was unrestrained, you get charged with cruelty to animals, as well. As for car training, I use to leave the car doors open so my youngest dog could get use to it. That stopped happening when I noticed she'd been chewing on the handbrake
Sparkle looks like a cutie, I must say.
That seems really strange to me. It's easy enough to import a figure into a modeling program, to make sure that things are scaled correctly. How are characters even supposed to interact with the set if everything is hugely out of scale? I get wanting to make a large set, but it should still be correctly scaled for daz figures if your're going to sell it in the daz store. IMO.
Looks like you need to reduce the set by another 50%
The challenge and why stuff needs to be made to scale is just enlarging or reducing something really doesn’t address the usability of the set and the scale issue.
for example...the toilet seat. It’s going to have to be pretty small for v8 to actually use the seat for the purpose intended. By the time I reduce the set to be convincing toilet bowl wise the toilet is going to be really low and short.

Who cares if v8 can't use it? Hmm? When she sits down, she'll fall in and we could flush her away, never to be seen again
Okay, here is my latest pose set. Skater King. Free for commercial use. No attribution required. There are 10 poses for Michael 8, wearing Derby Girl Skates.
This is a screenshot of what you get. I haven't actually done any promo art for it, since the dog is devouring what little spare time I have. Enjoy
LOL! HEH Hadn't thought of that.
Yes, I think these modeleling applications need to be improvement such that when you actually create a model you have to name the model, it's pieces, and all the measurments for the model and it's pieces. More like a CAD or architeural drawing. Toony stype or not I can't imagine studios like Disney & Pixar don't have precise measurements for everything that goes into all the scenes when they make their animations.
Sparkle is so cute! Hard to imagine anyone could leave a tiny dog all alone in a farmers field!
I love this website for checking out the reality of dog nutrition https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/ and they have an e-mail where they e-mail you whenever there is a recall on any food or treats ( and it happens a lot! ) I'm not sure about where you are located, but in the U.S., most vets hget very minimal training in nutrition so it really pays to do your own research as much as you can for a healthy dog.
These look great! Thanks so much.
thanks very much
double post
You are welcome. glad you folks like it. And thanks for the info about pet nutrition.
It occured to me there were no sexy MALE figures on bicycle poses so I will try to do something about that. =-) I'm still working on it though.
Wow!!
And we got 2 pretty nice pairs of boots for the boys this week-yay!
I bought both the new shoe sets so the guys will have to test them out.
I did pickup Dwayne pro but got him for 32 dollars which was equivalent to the three items I wanted from the set ala carte. I may try him at some point.
Just how long will that lotion bottle stay put?
All you need is the dog tugging on it and you've got a nicely-updated Coppertone ad!
Just long enough for Owen to admire him for a few heartbeats, show him how to properly apply it and then secure that piece of equipment Marine! All of which is what Boyd may be hoping for.
Although it was pointed out to me that Owen is probably more in need of sunblock than Boyd. But like a good soldier Owen applied it early and often. He doesn’t want to get written up for damaging military equipment
Thanks very much for the Skater King poses. They look very dynamic. Have to try them out with my Brandon from the Dwayne pro (I payed $66) pack. He is phantastic...
Great! Glad you like them.
Here, are the guys with a bit of Brandon dialed in. Owen's has Brandon body dialed in at 75 percent and his head at 50 percent and Boyd has 100 body and 49 percent head.
Brandon has a distinctive nose which neither of the guys have- Owen has a baby face, and Boyd has broader enose, but for the sake of test I wanted to try it. Don't ge me wrong, I like the nose- just not on all my characters.
The one thing about the toons is it makes the characters kind of ropey and angular in appearence. The hands become almost spatular. Poses designed for other characters need a ton more adjustments. The most annoying thing seems to be the fingers. Space is added between the digits.
In this image, I left The guys with their full strength muscularity.
The Farmer John outfit looks great. And I finally have some excuse to use the Mrs. Mops set at rendo- for the nice buckets.
I can't honestly think when Owen would wear this though. Although, his Irish Ancestors were farmers, if the war hadn't started, Owen would've gotten a Robotics degree like his grandfather. Now his future career opportunities are limited due to his lack of college education and he will likely remain as a Prime in the brain guild and take night classes to complete his degree.
I've only seen such overalls in USA except in a music video called 'Come On Eileen' so I guess they wear them elsewhere too. Where they are wore at all they can be worn anywhere but to church & formal occasions. You'd want to change out of the rubber boots though. My uncle never wore anything else in public unless he & his wife were going to church.
I actually like a lot of the outfits that came with toon Dwayne.
This is the Bounty Huntsman Outfit.
The boots do appear to need a foot pose in some poses I tried. I will have to see if there is one included. There is a nice amount of detail on this set and it looks really slick.
Very common in the UK. Normally referred to as Bib and Brace Overalls, available in different materials and colours, such as white for painters or Hi Vis for when visibility is a neccessity.
